where life is full of split ends

June 07, 2013

Screw the rain

Our family is growing today; my youngest brother is at his wife's side as she labors to deliver their first child, my newest nephew, into the world, and the excitement in the family is palapable. Text messages are flying back and forth and sideways with updates and requests for updates, and everyone is getting more and more anxious with each message. Nothing, not even the rainy, chilly, windy, just plain nasty and unusual weather of this June day can dampen our joy because we are anticipating a brand new baby boy, and he is going to be perfect.

Welcome

I'm Susan. I'm flawed. I love used book stores, family game night, starfish, the Boston Red Sox, lighthouses, photography, itty bitty baby toes and yoga. I'm addicted to pumpkin spice lattes, office supplies, tote bags, and my fabulously patient husband (Steve) as well as our two rapidly growing daughters: Hayden (14) and Anna (10). When they were little their hair was constantly in crooked pigtails.
We live in a small shoreline town in Southeastern Connecticut with Luna, our Cockapoo, and Daisy, Josie, and Lucy our three cats. Our house is old. Our decore is primarily Children Live Here with a splash of Constant Renovation. Come on in and make yourself comfortable.
